I'm just gonna post a couple of older videos. Just because I don't know and maybe some other people don't either... could you put a section in the OP describing how to post videos?

*drinks from noob water*.

The only way I know how too is through youtube, but that seemed to work fine for me. If there is another way to post them I'll put that in as well, but for the moment it seems the best way is to make a youtube account, then link that using the youtube link thing (whatever it's called). You can quote any post which has a video in it and replace the youtube code with the code after the v= from your youtube video and it'll work fine.

Not amazing, but it's of my own composition.
That was awesome, you liar! I take it you are on guitar?

I'd love to contribute to this, but I've never gotten around to learning an instrument. Will have to remedy that sometime. I'll happily settle for just following this thread though.

I can play guitar but I can't sing worth shit so I'll talk to a friend tonight to see if he'll want to play a song or two with me. Warning: It will probably be a bluegrass song since he plays banjo. I'll see if I can get something posted it the next few days.

Oh shut up, that was awesome. Very nice song, I would buy it off Amazon if you put it up there.

Yeh I'm playing guitar, and also the drums. I can't keep friends long enough to have them involved in my recordings, I would play gigs locally if I had people to play with.
edit - where are my manners? Thank you very much, very kind.

I hope this meets the grade, your piano playing was pretty nice...way to set the bar high in the first post...bastard.

Okay, that was really good. You have no right whatsoever to complain about the bar being set high.

I'm working on something. It's going to be crap (seriously, not being modest) but hey.

So... ummm I'm terrible at "writing" songs, but I do loves me to play 'em music. I realized, only recently (for I thought my knowledge of theory was *flawless* that this piece isn't technically in G-minor but shifts between Bb Major and its relative minor because the chords don't give it a definitive minor, but the sounds do lead one to feel that it's minor at times while Major at others).

This is, by definition, a jam session... but just with myself. I played a chord progression and then recorded myself playing individual notes over the chords and it turned out pretty well, but it does go off beat every so often and a few other things which annoy me, but despite all the "errors," I very much like this piece o' music. Enjoyment wished!

That was really good! Although I'm terrible at picking key changes on an acoustic guitar, better on my own instrument. Don't worry about the errors, I've got another piece I'm putting up later on which is laden with them, it's hard to play... but it sounds alright. Nice work!

This video just contains the audio track for '10 Billion' by my band Doctor Nut. We're somewhat of a prog-rock/metal band.

This is a video of me and my brother playing Bach's 'Fuguetta' arranged by Yngwie Malmsteen. It was made well over three years ago and I've improved a lot since then. Sorry about the repeats as well, we were forced to make it longer haha.

EDIT: Oh and I'm actually the bassist and bass vocalist in Doctor Nut, not the guitarist.

EDIT 2: I also play the Owl Whistle in Doctor Nut.

Might hold you to that...would need to recoup the expenditure of printing CD's somehow. I'll make sure to shamelessly plug it on the site...I'm yet to start my own thread, if it happens I'll ask the mods if it is acceptable first obviously, know how they feel about advertising...and rightly so.

You're playing a modified version of Bach's C major Fugue from The Well Tempered Klavier, Volume 1. It's very nice. I used to be able to play the prelude to that piece on the piano... I might have to dig the sheet music for that one up and learn it again so I can post it up on here... Very nice.

Hey, that was good! You're heaps better than I am on the piano, although it's a very different style of music to what I play! Keep it up.

I'd join in, but I got no good recording equipment. =(
I know the feeling, my two videos were recorded on my mobile phone which is why the sound is rubbish in them. I'm hoping to eventually steal my sisters camera to see if that captures the sound better.

A while back, I was so unbleivably bored and did the solo for march of the dogs by sum 41.

I know I suck greatly but give me a break.

I have a recording of me and my friends being drunk on my phone, but I lack the equipment/balls to put it on the internet.

It was good! You should keep it up! This is becoming a very guitar heavy thread... I might need to post some more piano to even it out...
